Consumer protection is designed to safeguard consumers against unfair market practices, fraud, mis-selling and defective goods and services.

This is an important part of the work of regulators such as the UK's Financial Conduct Authority.


Good conduct toward consumers is an important part of an organisation's brand and reputation.
